the Bobcats selected Drobjnak following an agreement where the Bobcats finally got the 2nd pick of the Draft. He'll surely be waived, while it's more likely that Jahidi White will make the team.

By the way, Corey Benjamin is listed two times. And I'm pretty convinced that Theron Smith will make the teams, as the Bobcats declared they were kinda eager of drating him (especially as they drafted him instead of Dahntay Jones and Troy Bell!)

I guess I could do that. (Y)

I'd like to fix up the rookie ratings and do a couple of transaction updates first though.

Yeah! Superman made jerseys for them.

so about how much longer until the next roster version is released? it seems like the transactions and signings have slowed down a bit...

But most teams still have over 15 players on their roster.

Possibly this coming weekend or maybe next week. I'm a little busy with work at the moment (as well as some other things).

cant wait for the next roster update. i 2nd demotion the addition of the 04 tean usa. nway, take ur time andrew.

here are some suggestions:
CAVS loni jones should be added. he has a very good chance of making the team.
eric snow should be pg/sg. he can play either guard positions. this was mentioned in the article of the trade.

PISTONS darvin ham. in ur previous roster he is a sf/pf. but in their website he is a sf/sg.

SPURS kevin willis should be a center only. bec he's too slow to play power forward. this will also reduce his playing time w/c is more realistic.
tim duncan. dont you think 91 overall is quite low for him? considering he's back to back mvp. he should be at least closer to garnett's 96 overall.

I wouldn't count on either (DRob or White) making the team. I know Benjamin is listed twice, that's on purpose :wink:

, for play time. Smith is on the team, I know Bickerstaff called him the "sleeper" but Bickerstaff can be an idiot. I put Smith on the IL because he hasn't been on either SL roster and nothing on injuries, so I'm assuming they're going to be real patient with him. It is like Andrew said, all speculation, but it's MHO.

Possibly this coming weekend or maybe next week. I'm a little busy with work at the moment (as well as some other things).

BTW, Andrew, I recommend waiting until next week. The trade winds are seriously blowing again (Damp, Crawford, SAR), and latest is SAR maybe to NJ within the next few days.

Increase Tony Allens dunk rating(it's at 30 now. :lame:

) to maybe 75-85. He through down a VC like windmill last week.

by **alexboom** on Thu Jul 22, 2004 5:21 pm

Andrew, I compared some overall ratings and found some weird results. I know that we shouldn't focus on it, but it may reflects some little problem and tweaking may be welcome

Here are some players with their overall ratings:

Code: Select all: Ben Wallace 78 Jerry Stackhouse 78 Andrei Kirilenko 76

Here it's clear, I strongly suggest to check Stachouse ratings and decrease some of them

Code: Select all: Allan Houston 70 Carlos Boozer 70

I think it's clear here!

Code: Select all: Brian Cardinal 56 Shawn Bradley 56

They both play in the frontcourt but have the same overall rating! I know that Cardinal is not that talented, but you could up his ratings a little to reflect his motivation on the court

Code: Select all: David Wesley 65 Anfernee Hardaway 64 Jamal Magloire 64 Eric Dampier 64 Derrick Coleman 64 Marquis Daniels 62

Some old players (Hardaway and Coleman) are now overated in my opinion, decreasing a little their ratings would make room for young prospects!

Also, Mark Jackson has a 59 overall! He's still a great passer but can't stand for a long time on the court. In the same way, I think that Shawn Kemp and Rod Strickland are overated!

By the way, Eddie Gill is rated with an overall of 44, I think it should be around 50 ; as he's talented player who showed some skills two years ago with the Grizzlies (and also with the Nets)

And I saw that Darrick Martin has "Tiny" as a nickname, shouldn't it be "MVP"? Same for players birthplaces, that would ne nice if you add them like I mentionned in an older thread:)

Oh, and you can delete Grant Long (you added it as a created player), he's retired now and is an assistant coach

This are only suggestions, but that would be great if you could take them in account as I think most of them are pretty fair!

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Thu Jul 22, 2004 6:02 pm

Thanks guys, all noted.

by **Adrian** on Fri Jul 23, 2004 12:28 am

Hey Andrew,

Could you assign the Charlotte Bobcats the players that they have signed up, just leave them off the official roster, but could you replace the default players with the actual NBA players. That would be great.

It's my Birthday tomorrow (23rd) so if u want, consider it a birthday present :wink:

If you can't do it then it's fine, but hope you can.

Thanks Mate.

From one side of Australia to the other...take care.

Adrian.

hmm.. in all my years of watching sixers games, i can't remember a time when snow played the 2guard. i could be wrong, but i doubt it.

Happy Birthday! :bday:

I won't be able to release a new update tonight though, sorry.

The Bobcats will have the players they signed (the generic ones from the original rosters have been removed), in v1.08 they have their early expansion draft rosters. I'll be sure to make the appropriate updates for v1.09.

Thanks Andrew

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sat Jul 24, 2004 12:59 pm

If I'm adding the 2004 US team, probably next weekend.

CAVS drew gooden higher fg. he's too low at 46. brendan haywood(he has bad hands to score) is at 46.
drew gooden slightly higher block. a.croshere, r.rogers, n.tskitishvili ( poor shot blockers) even has a higher block rating.

MAVS jerry stackhouse lower def.aware. he's as high as kerry kittle( good defender) at 65.

NUGGETS francisco elson slight increase overall. hes too low at 44.

PACERS jamal tinsley lower passing. his 94 is higher than steve nash's (better passer) 92.

HEAT shaq o'neal higher passing. he's too low at 39.

WOLVES sam cassell lower def.aware. 75 is way too high for him. he's a defensive liability.

NETS kerry kittles higher def.aware. he's a good defender.

HORNETS david wesley lower def.aware. 77 is too high.

SUNS steve nash lower def.aware. he's as high as jon barry( good defender)
amare stoudemire higher strength. he's quit low at 65. P.drobnjak (weaker than stoudemire) has even higher strength than him.

SPURS tim duncan (0.7 spg 202-03) slight increase steal to mid 30's. lee nailon(0.2 spg in 2002-03) is even higher than him.
tim duncan slight higher off.aware. zach randolph is even higher than him.
tim duncan increase off. reb. m.okur is even higher than him.

FREE AGENT karl malone higher strength. he should be in the mid to higher 80's.

*QUESTION: SHAQ O'NEAL jump at 85 is pretty high. i doubt he can elevate that high at 340 lbs.
KEVIN GARNETT jump rating at 90 is same as kobe's, mcgrady's and iverson's, richardson's and lebron james'. is garnetts vertical leap really that high?
